  1. The expectation of an expectation - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 21, 2020 · This may seem trivial but just to confirm, as the expected value is a constant, this implies that the expectation of an expectation is just itself. It would be useful to know if this assumption is

  2. Intuitive explanation of the tower property of conditional expectation

  8. Expected value of an expected value - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The second term is such because $E (X)$ is a constant, and the expectation of a constant is the constant itself (same for the last term ($E (X))^2$) $=E (X^2)-2 (E (X))^2+ (E (X))^2=E (X^2)- (E (X))^2$
